Sims Challenge: Hunger Games: (new rules)

So, here are my new revised rules for the Sims Hunger Game Challenge:

• You must have 8 sims, 4 boys and 4 girls.  They must all be young adults.  One of them must be the sim version of you and you must have a Katniss Everdeen.  They must all have the insane trait, and they cannot have the loser trait.
• You can only control the sim of yourself, and when they die you can chose which one to control.
• They will live in a very basic house surrounded by water.
• They cannot leave their house and get jobs.
• Every 3 days you can see how the other sims are doing by clicking on them and looking at their relationships e.c.t.  But you cannot control them.
• Your sim has to be the only one who can cook (I overcame this by putting a tempory fence around them as they cooked, so that the other sims cannot get to the fridge).  When they have finished the fridge and cooker must face the wall.  They can only cook 3 meals a day.  When there are 5 of them left this reduces to 2 meals a day.  When there are 3 of them left you can stop all meals.
• If you have generations you can have a bunk bed and a sleeping bag, if not just have 3 cheap single beds.  You can also have 2 nap-able chairs.  When there are 5 sims left the bunk bed is to be replaced with a sleeping bag (or one of the beds is removed) and a nap-able chair is to be deleted.  When there are 3 left one of the sleeping bags is to be deleted (or one of the beds).  Then when there are 2 left the last bed or sleeping bag is to be deleted leaving just a nap-able chair.

The new rules are in red and I took away the weekly challenges for the ims, because I think that it is too short a challenge for that.  I will try to implement it into a future challenge.

I am going to try the challenge again and report on it as I did before, but this time I am going to do it on the Sims 2 to make it a bit different.  Doing it on the Sims 2 will change it, such as there are no traits, but I think it will make it a bit harder as there is slightly less freedom in that game.

Enjoy Playing!!

Completing the Challenge

So, in the end it only took 8 days for all of my sims to die.  Which was a bit of a disappointment as the things that would happen every week never took place.  Because of that I will revise my challenge and try again.  Anyway, heres how it went:

The first to die was Katniss:

She died on day 4 of the challenge.  She died so soon because she never got to eat one of the 3 meals available.

The next to die soon after was Sunnie, who literally fell about a minute after Katniss (in sim time):

He also died so soon because of his lack of meals.

After that is was Kimmi on the 4th day:

Suprisingly as a ghost she became thin:

After her, also on the same day Jack died shortly after:

Then after Jack, Martin died on the 6th day:

Then there was the final 3 left:

In third place was........My sim:

Who died on the 7th day:

In 2nd Place........................Was Sandra:

Who died on the 8th day.

Then (unfortunatly), Stevo won (I don't know if you can guess, but I don't like Stevo):

He died on the 8th day, and as a ghost became thin:

Then this message appears:

I always wondered what happened at the end of a sims game.  Now I know.

Along the way some minor events occured.  I found that it all went well until the sims started dying, then all the other sims did was mourn.  Their traits also became obviouse.  For example, because Martin was a coward, he was constantly fainting:

Also because they where insane you would see them constantly talking to themselves and doing strange things, like sitting on the toilet (not using it):

Because they could not pay their bills, things got repossessed.  First they lost their fire pit, then their tv.

Also by the end of it, nearly everything was broken.  They could no longer shower, wash dishes or watch tv, because they where all broken and their moods where too low to fix them.  I also found that I forgot to include a bin, but they never needed it until the food in the fridge went off.

Having 8 of them sharing one bathroom made a lot of problems, resulting in a lot of accidents:

Because of all the deaths, it meant that the grim reaper spent a lot of time at the house.  He even came in casual attire, which I thought was a little strange:

As well as my sim talking to the grim reaper, several fights broke out along the way:

These fights usually involved Stevo, who usually lost them too.

So my sims challenge only lasted 8 days.  I was a bit disappointed, but I will post my new rules later.   Over all though, I enjoyed doing it, especially as I had never done it before, and will do lots more different ones in the future.  :)

Sims for Hunger Games Challenge:

Here are the sims that I am sending into the Hunger Games Challenge:

Katniss:

Me:

Martin:

Kimmi:

Jack:

Sunnie:

Sandra:

Stevo:

I can admitt that I was a bit silly when I made them to look so funny, but 7 of them are going to die anyway so what does it matter??

Anyway I tried to give them all conflicting personalities with plenty of negative traits.  I do have Jack Frost as all evil then Sunnie is all good to conflict with each other.  I gave myself all of the realistic traits that I would rarther not have.  Katniss I tried to make as much like her in the movie/book as I could.  Martin is self-centred and only thinks about himself.  Kimmi is just overall wierd.  Stevo is a snob and thinks of himself as above all others and Sandra is moody and won't do anything she doesn't want to.  

If you can't work out what all of the traits are in the pictures, this link will help:

Their life time wishes are totally random as none of them will actually achieve them.

I also tried to make Katniss look as much like she does in the movie/book, but it was really difficult as I was limited to what was in the base game/expansions.

Anyway here is their family photo:

Sims 3 Hunger Games Challenge OverView:

This is my first ever Sims challenge.  I made it up myself but have taken things from other challenges.
This challenge is Hunger Games themed as in the last sim alive wins.
The rules are as follows:

• You must have 8 sims consisting of 4 boys and 4 girls.  They must all be young adults and humans.  One of them must be Katniss Everdeen (because of the theme, obviously) and one of them must be yourself.
• Your sims cannot have the loser trait as this may prevent them from dying from natural causes.
• Your sims must all have the insane trait (it just makes it more amusing and interesting).
• The only sim that you can control is yourself.  You cannot even click on the other sims pictures.
• They will all live in a very basic house, with a small garden and surrounded by water.
• They will not be allowed to leave the lot and so cannot have jobs.
• It doesn't matter how much money you have, as they cannot leave the lot to spend it anyway.
• The lot can only have 3 beds (or 2 and a sleeping bag) and 2 nap-able chairs.
• Your sim is the only one who cooks.  They can cook 3 meals a day.  After they have finished cooking they have to turn the fridge and cooker around so the other sims cannot use them.
• Every week you can buy one new object.  You can also click on the other sims once a week just to see how their relations e.c.t. are going, but you cannot control them.
• Everyweek you can also set a challenge for the sims (this may mean that you need to control them, but that's ok).  The winner of this challenge will get something they need for that day only, e.g. an extra meal or bed.  The loser gets shut into solitary confinement for a day (an empty room with no windows or doors).

The furniture that they are allowed is as follows:

Bathroom:

• Cheapest Toilet.
• Cheapest Shower.
• Mirror.

Bedroom:

• Bunk bed and a sleeping bag (or 3 cheap beds).
• A dresser.

Living room:

• 3 seater sofa.
• A chair.
• Cheapest TV.
• A Bench (but not by the TV).

Kitchen:

• Cheapest Fridge.
• Cheapest Cooker.
• 6 Counters.
• Sink.
• Bin.
• 4 Island counters.
• 4 bar stools.

Outside:

• Waterslide (or diving board for the pool).
• Pool.
• Swing.
• Firepit.

You can add whatever decorations you want.  I filled my house with food stage props, just to make it look more interesting (and because I made it a bit too big):

Here is the whole lot surrounded by water:

When playing make sure that you have free will on the maximum (otherwise they will just stand around doing nothing).  You can do this in the options:

So have fun playing!  I have 3 expansion packs on my game, World Adventures, Showtime and Generations.  I have tried to make it so that you do not need these for the challenges, by providing alternatives to things like bunk beds, and I have not included much from the packs.  I would love to hear if you try this challenge and if there is anything I can improve or if there is anything I didn't explain.  I will post my family going into the house later and updates on my family aswell as my ideas for challenges.  If you have any ideas for challenges I would love to hear them.  I would also love to hear how your game is going if you do try it.

Enjoy Simming!
